Not sure why everyone builds the headers with the tubes starting up. They can be built down and forward for easy plug access and still clear ps/ac/alt/downpipes/etc.

Plug access is better with those than the Kooks longtubes that were on the car. And packaging didn't allow going to the bottom with a 91mm turbo and 5" downpipe wedged in there. That also retains all the factory accessories, except for the A/C. The PS pump isn't pictured but remains in near factory location with a billet mounting bracket that was machined up.

I agree the only time I go up with the tubes is on trucks or older cars where plug access is easy through the wheel wells. Nothing worse then taking parts off and having a plug swap take 1hr, not to mention the burnt hands and arms.
